Normal to get hairline cracks on fresh plaster on fireplace?

Got about 5 hairline cracks on our new fireplace. Guessing it’s off the heat off the log burner is this normal?
 
Ours has cracked a little where it was plastered. Nothing noticeable unless you get up close. If it gets worse I'll just smooth over it and re paint the wall.
 
Have you had a wood beam put in, a surround or is it in an existing fire place with surround? My plaster cracked but more around the beam corners when it settled. 2 years down the line and filled they haven’t came back.
